Zinc-that extremely dainty shade
whicf- can not properly be called pale
blue and yet suggests it. which is not
| dove gray and yet wants to persuade
one that It is, and which evidently
succeeds in proving itself to be the
most charming mixture of blue and
| gray imaginable, as artistic as it IS try
! ino.-may be quoted as fashionable,
bnt only to few people is it becoming.
The fair-haired woman must forget it or
at least, gracefully cede all rights in it
to her dark sister.
In nearly every instance where zinc
is used silk and wool goods form a
combination, and the silk is the very
soft and pliable quality that looks
heavy but does not offend by rustic.
Such costume has silk skirt made
perfectly plain, a development that
emphasizes its rich quality. The drap-
cry of the WOO goods is separated
distinctly at each side, revealing the
skirt beneath. The tabLier is long,
draped high on one side and allowed to
fall in a straight line on the other, so
that pointed outline is obtained. In
the back drapery is looped to give
boutfdr,t air and forms cascade folds at
each side. The finish is hem, which
is sewed by hand with invisible stitches.
The bodice and drapery are of soft,
fine cashmere exactly matching the.
silk petticoat. The basque is a postil-
ion in outline, but below the bust the
right front crosses the left and
fastens on the left side; above
this the fronts are turned under in
V shape and plastron of silk set in
The opening is defined by band of zinc
passementerie, the beads being glass of
the real zinc shade. The collar, which
is of silk, has strip of the same deco
ration about it, and the coat sleeves
have straight cuffs ornamented i'll a
similar way. With this toilette is worn
a sling wrap of zinc velvet trimmed with
passementerie and lined throughout
with rose-colored satin. The bonnet is
zinc straw trimmed with zinc velvet
and pink roses.
French modistes have asserted that
we have no genuine appreciation of soft
cashmeres and suitings; that we fail to
perceive their artistic value and count
them ''dowdy" because they are quiet.
Such criticism might have been applied
once, but it is certainly not true to fact
now. when a reaction after violent
liking for fancy stuffs has set in, and
the plain fabric, relying on beauty of
make and color, is counted most desir
able. Of course. there will always be
rich brocades, as certain as there will
always be dowagers; equally certain
will be the minglings of color in the
cloths as long as there are women who
like them; nevertheless, the plain ma
terials will predominant and the fancy
stufs be made subservient to them. All
the cloth shades and many others are
noted in the cashmeres, and the mode,
fawn and gray tints are noted as smart
Cashmere is adaptive, and it can often
be worn by women to whom the sever
ity of cloth frock is unsuitable, for
although requiring certain amount of
severity in development, cashmere i'm

The Direction in Which to Look for Prac-
tical Instances of It.
Curtius rode into the dreadful and
dark abyss for the salvation of Rome.
1t was deed for all time to applaud
and for all men to exult over-a splen-
did exhibition of personal daring and
OF patriotic sacrifice. A good deal
nearer to us in point of fact and time
was the'heroic front of Nathan Hale,
the gallant young martyr of the Amer
lean revolution, whose last regret was
that he had only only one life to give to
his country. Very properly we admire
and celebrate these and all heroic
deeds; but there are other kinds of
heroism of which little note is made.
but which ought TO move us to admira-
ton as fervid as that which the world
has agreed to lay upon the affairs
whereon patriotism has inundated it
self in the splendid moments of the
worlds history. Where. for example,
shall we find loftier courage than that
of the woman who goes into her own
kitchen day after day and week after
week during the long continued and
wearing heat of the summer, that those

And.th she does it with sweet cheer
fulness, and that she comes from her
kitchen to her dinner table flushed
and overheated. thinking only how
she can enhance the family comfort,
with never complaint for self, and
you may have a truly heroic figure.
Sublime patience is the only weapon
with which we can do hopeful
battle against extreme heat. How
many of us are possessed of
sufficient moral music to handle
that weapon valiantly? The lament
able fact is. most of us arc too ready
today down tho good sword point of
patience and fight only with dull COM

general impulse is to run away at the

woman's patience and courage and

much more than appreciation if only

Poetry of Childhood.

Poetry comes quite naturally at the
age of three. The Listener has heard
of a little girl who has not yet reached
her third year, who made a very pretty
remark the other day. She was driv-

child along the shore of little pond
where there were yellow cOw-lilies
growing in the water.

"what kind of flowers are those yellow

How Fatigue Operates.

After study of some years, Prof.
Mosso, of Turin, finds that when IA
tigue is carried beyond the moderate
stage, at which it is decidedly bene-
fetal, it subjects the blood to decom-
posing process through the infiltration
into it of substances which act as poi
sons, and which, when injected into
the circulation of healthy animals, in
duce uneasiness and all the signs of ex-
cessive exhaustion. When within tho
resisting power of the subject, fatigue
has its pleasures and even joys. these
being the expression of the organic
consciousness that bodily loss of tissue
is being balanced by reconstruction.
Mosso's experiments were performed
on Italian soldiers, and they proved,
among the other results, that the
stature and power of the modern war
rior are fully equal to those of the an
cient Roman.-ArkGnSdo0 IrGCeteT.

Small Industries.

The Advancement Of a town does
not depend upon the Inauguration
of gigantic enterprises altogether,
says the MilledgevilIe Chronicle.
While the concentration of CAPT
tai and the employment of a large
number of laborers may be more
noticeable than small industries,
yet tits upon the latter class that
depends the tue prosperity of a
place. 1t is rarely that gigan-
tic establishment secures manage
ment that can successfully control
it and make it pay profitable divi-
dend. 1t is rarer still that en-
ployes in such establishments are
remunerative wages. 1t is the
prosperity of the individuals that
oasti utes a community's p o.
perity. Palaces may adorn a
community, but if poverty and
degradation surround them, that
community is not prosperous. 1t
is a healthy state of affairs when
each individual in a community
is making a good living and en-
Toying the blessings Of good
home, of peace and comfort.
Small industries pay better divi-
dend to the capital invested than
large ones. Any one with indus
try and ordinary business capaci-
ty can manage a small enterprise
affording remunerative employ
ment for q few laborers and make
good, comfortable living for
the proprietor and manager. Then,
too, small industries would pro.
duce diversity of useful and
necessary articles, while one large
